Dragging around
The sins of your father
Handed on down
From one to another
Spinning new wheels
From lover to lover
Afraid to come now
From under the covers

When the world's on your shoulders
And you just feel like hiding
When there's nowhere to run to
You can come crying
Come crying to me

You know how to fly
On the wings of disaster
You try to stand still
But you keep going faster
And faster

You thought it'd be easier
In California
The tables will turn
And they won't even warn you

When the world's on your shoulders
And you just keep on sliding
When there's nowhere to run to
You can come crying
Come crying to me

When the night seems colder
But the sun's gonna shine
I won't leave you behind
No you won't stay behind

When the world's on your shoulders
And you can't keep confiding
When there's nowhere to run to
You can come crying
When the world's on your shoulders
And you can't keep from hiding
When there's nowhere to run to
You can come crying
Come crying to me
Come crying to me
When the world's on your shoulders
Come crying to me
When you just feel like hiding
You can come crying
Come crying to me
Come crying to me
Come crying to me
